[nfb-db] blind how

[The Pawpower Pack]

Hi, Marsha, PT is Protactile, we sign PT. 
I like it because it allows me information sighted hearing people take for granted, like facial expression, people laughing, interpreters switching, if I'm giving a presentation, I can tell if someone wants to make comment because someone draws a line on my back to indicate that.  So I don't have to stop signing to receive that information.  Also, if I'm chatting with a DBP, they can express understanding, agreement, laughter, all kinds of emotions, and I can do likewise without interupting that tactual ASL conversation.

I was wondering if some blind folks might show    how they do ASL and also give a deaf-blind perspective on how to do different things! I could not find any videos on this or articles ; unless I missed something! I put deaf blind in the search, and the results seem to have nothing to do with what I put in the search!  It got me thinking about this when I read an article  online, pro-tactile The DeafBlind Way! It was a really good article.  It was something I never thought about before I read the article and it made sense to me the points in the article! I thought it should be on blindhow's site too!  You  can sign up for an account and post content to the site   in the form of videos and    articles!  I wonder if you can send an article about the "i can    connect," program.    73 Heather
